It was more of a... 206 00:11:52,867 --> 00:11:54,867 Like a dry scream. Like, it was just like, 207 00:11:54,867 --> 00:11:56,266 I don't know how to describe it. 208 00:11:56,266 --> 00:11:59,367 And then he said, "Y'all need to come to the house now." 209 00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:05,066 I heard her running down the stairs. 210 00:12:05,133 --> 00:12:06,467 I mean, she was running hard. 211 00:12:06,467 --> 00:12:08,266 Screaming, and everything else, 212 00:12:08,266 --> 00:12:10,166 and that's why I was like, "What is going on?" 213 00:12:10,166 --> 00:12:12,000 And then she runs in my room and tells me, 214 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,567 "Sabion's been shot." 215 00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:15,467 I said, "Well, maybe they're okay.

Maybe they'll be okay." 217 00:12:18,767 --> 00:12:20,834 She said, "No, no, they're dead." 218 00:12:23,467 --> 00:12:26,934 So, we got dressed and got in the car and went to Mart. 219 00:12:28,867 --> 00:12:31,967 That was the longest drive down that road ever. 220 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,066 And I just kept saying, "We gotta pray. We gotta pray. We gotta pray." 221 00:12:38,133 --> 00:12:39,367 And she was screaming. 222 00:12:42,066 --> 00:12:45,867 And finally we made it to where Riesel meets Mart. 223 00:12:45,934 --> 00:12:49,567 And there was just red and blue lights everywhere. 224 00:12:52,467 --> 00:12:55,266 So, that's really when it hit. 225 00:12:55,266 --> 00:12:57,467 [indistinct chatter over police radio] 226 00:12:57,533 --> 00:12:59,967 When I saw the ambulances pull off empty, 227 00:12:59,967 --> 00:13:03,433 that's when I knew that that was it. 228 00:13:11,367 --> 00:13:13,567 [Detective Johnson] Everybody in the house was erratic. 229 00:13:15,467 --> 00:13:18,567 Jacob's mom was on the floor with him, crying. 230 00:13:18,567 --> 00:13:20,767 Dad was wanting something to be done, 231 00:13:20,767 --> 00:13:22,567 yelling and screaming at everybody. 232 00:13:24,266 --> 00:13:26,066 In a situation like this, 233 00:13:26,133 --> 00:13:29,734 events can't happen fast enough to catch the shooter. 234 00:13:31,066 --> 00:13:33,667 So, we need to make sure we keep building a good case 235 00:13:33,667 --> 00:13:36,233 as we're processing everything. 236 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,867 [DA DeCluitt] The murder weapon was found at the scene. 237 00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:48,467 It was a 9mm Glock with an extended magazine. 238 00:13:50,767 --> 00:13:53,166 We found six spent shell casings, 239 00:13:53,233 --> 00:13:54,967 and we were able to account for all the rounds 240 00:13:54,967 --> 00:13:57,333 that were fired from those shell casings. 241 00:13:58,767 --> 00:14:00,567 In interviewing the family that night, 242 00:14:00,567 --> 00:14:03,367 nobody heard any of the shots that were fired in the house. 243 00:14:03,433 --> 00:14:05,867 The dad said that Jacob and Sabion 244 00:14:05,867 --> 00:14:09,767 played video games through all hours of the night, full volume. 245 00:14:09,767 --> 00:14:13,233 And so they were so used to hearing gunshots. 246 00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:17,333 But they slept through the noise. 247 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,367 [DA Calvert] In addition to the shell casings that were in the bedroom, 248 00:14:22,433 --> 00:14:26,767 there also were numerous bloody footprints 249 00:14:26,767 --> 00:14:29,467 of someone who was not wearing shoes, 250 00:14:29,467 --> 00:14:32,867 going from the bodies, 251 00:14:32,934 --> 00:14:36,967 through the kitchen area, and straight into the bedroom 252 00:14:37,033 --> 00:14:39,467 of Anthony Medlock and his wife. 253 00:14:39,467 --> 00:14:42,033 Who were asleep in their bed at the time. 254 00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:54,767 [indistinct chatter over police radio] 255 00:14:54,767 --> 00:14:56,667 Any time you have a murder, there's gonna be 256 00:14:56,667 --> 00:15:00,433 rumors going around about who did it, why they did it. 257 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,467 And this case was certainly no exception. 258 00:15:04,467 --> 00:15:06,667 There were rumors that it was drug related, 259 00:15:06,667 --> 00:15:08,066 that it was gang related. 260 00:15:08,133 --> 00:15:10,667 The investigators in this case did a good job 261 00:15:10,667 --> 00:15:12,533 of running all those facts down. 262 00:15:14,467 --> 00:15:16,433 Jacob and Sabion definitely weren't in any gang. 263 00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:19,266 From my understanding, the rumor was, 264 00:15:19,266 --> 00:15:22,367 whoever was involved in doing it 265 00:15:22,367 --> 00:15:24,867 was trying to get initiated into a gang. 266 00:15:24,867 --> 00:15:26,567 And in order to get into the gang, 267 00:15:26,567 --> 00:15:28,166 you had to kill two people. 268 00:15:31,367 --> 00:15:33,367 We found out there was a whole group of boys 269 00:15:33,367 --> 00:15:37,100 that came over to the house earlier that night. 270 00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:41,667 [DA Calvert] All of these boys had grown up together from early childhood. 271 00:15:41,667 --> 00:15:44,767 All of these boys were very close friends. 272 00:15:44,834 --> 00:15:47,066 They referred to each other as brothers. 273 00:15:47,133 --> 00:15:50,834 And they were very well known in Mart. 274 00:15:52,467 --> 00:15:55,567 Jacob Ybarra was the defensive MVP 275 00:15:55,567 --> 00:15:57,567 for the Mart Football Team. 276 00:15:57,634 --> 00:16:00,567 Sabion Kubitza had a full scholarship to play football. 277 00:16:00,567 --> 00:16:02,567 Zamar Kirven received a scholarship 278 00:16:02,567 --> 00:16:04,967 to play Division 1 football at the University of Houston. 279 00:16:05,033 --> 00:16:09,567 Shatydrick "Woola" Bailey received an opportunity to play college football. 280 00:16:09,567 --> 00:16:12,467 And they had formed bonds on the football field 281 00:16:12,467 --> 00:16:14,367 all throughout their lives, 282 00:16:14,367 --> 00:16:17,367 and so it was hard for anyone to imagine 283 00:16:17,367 --> 00:16:19,266 that one of them could harm, 284 00:16:19,266 --> 00:16:22,767 let alone kill, one or more of the others. 285 00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:28,667 But that's absolutely something that we had to 286 00:16:28,667 --> 00:16:32,166 look at in this case, as we would in any murder case. 287 00:16:34,367 --> 00:16:38,166 [DA DeCluitt] We found out that Zamar and some of the group 288 00:16:38,166 --> 00:16:40,066 decided to go to some field party. 289 00:16:40,066 --> 00:16:43,000 And they wanted Jacob to go, and Jacob said 290 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,567 that he didn't wanna go because he knew that 291 00:16:45,567 --> 00:16:47,467 those parties were not always safe, 292 00:16:47,533 --> 00:16:49,166 and he wanted to stay home. 293 00:16:49,166 --> 00:16:50,867 And so they leave, 294 00:16:50,867 --> 00:16:53,567 and they're FaceTiming each other. 295 00:16:53,567 --> 00:16:55,967 And you see Jacob there, you see Sabion there 296 00:16:55,967 --> 00:16:59,066 whenever they're FaceTiming their friends in Jacob's room. 297 00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:04,133 And you also see Shatydrick "Woola" Bailey. 298 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,367 So we knew Woola stayed there too, 299 00:17:08,433 --> 00:17:11,367 and could've been there when the shots were fired. 300 00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:15,166 [DA Calvert] Woola Bailey was 20 years old. 301 00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:18,367 Jacob and Woola had won 302 00:17:18,433 --> 00:17:21,367 state championships together at Mart High School. 303 00:17:21,367 --> 00:17:24,333 And so they were truly lifelong friends. 304 00:17:26,967 --> 00:17:28,767 [Detective Johnson] We tried to explore the relationships 305 00:17:28,767 --> 00:17:30,467 as much as we can. 306 00:17:30,533 --> 00:17:32,767 I didn't know where Woola was. 307 00:17:32,767 --> 00:17:35,567 We don't know for sure what happened when, 308 00:17:35,634 --> 00:17:39,333 so we need to get Woola to the sheriff's office to interview him. 309 00:17:40,867 --> 00:17:44,166 [Shontel] When I heard that they couldn't find Woola, 310 00:17:44,166 --> 00:17:47,100 I questioned, like, 311 00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:50,266 "Was there any, like, secret animosity?" 312 00:17:50,333 --> 00:17:54,767 It was suspicious because nobody knows where he is. 313 00:17:54,767 --> 00:17:57,467 I wanted to know why he left 314 00:17:57,533 --> 00:17:59,533 after Sabion and Jacob had been killed. 315 00:18:18,300 --> 00:18:21,967 The next few days were extremely overwhelming 316 00:18:21,967 --> 00:18:25,066 because you're trying to process it all, 317 00:18:25,066 --> 00:18:27,667 but you're also having to plan a funeral, 318 00:18:27,734 --> 00:18:31,066 which is a lot when you've never 319 00:18:31,066 --> 00:18:34,166 thought of a song to play for your kid's funeral. 320 00:18:34,166 --> 00:18:35,834 You've never thought of anything. 321 00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:42,734 I decided to do a balloon release for them. 322 00:18:44,367 --> 00:18:46,367 So, we went to the football field 323 00:18:46,367 --> 00:18:49,467 to honor them and their memories. 324 00:18:49,467 --> 00:18:52,166 Blue was Jacob's favorite color, 325 00:18:52,233 --> 00:18:54,767 and red was Sabion's favorite color. 326 00:18:54,767 --> 00:18:57,934 So, the balloons was blue and red. 327 00:19:03,767 --> 00:19:05,567 That football field was filled. 328 00:19:05,634 --> 00:19:08,066 Everybody was there. 329 00:19:11,767 --> 00:19:15,967 I was fixing to graduate high school in about two weeks. 330 00:19:16,033 --> 00:19:19,166 And so I attached my graduation invitation 331 00:19:19,166 --> 00:19:21,367 to the balloon and I let it go, 332 00:19:21,367 --> 00:19:23,834 so they could be invited to my graduation. 333 00:19:43,900 --> 00:19:46,066 [Detective Johnson] While we were trying to find Woola, 334 00:19:46,133 --> 00:19:48,166 we start canvassing the neighborhood. 335 00:19:50,166 --> 00:19:52,100 And we find a woman who had a video camera. 336 00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:55,066 She was about three houses down the other side of the street. 337 00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:58,367 In reviewing the video camera, 338 00:19:58,367 --> 00:20:00,367 we found at about 1:16, 339 00:20:00,433 --> 00:20:02,967 you actually see somebody's car pass. 340 00:20:02,967 --> 00:20:04,367 It stops. 341 00:20:08,266 --> 00:20:10,767 And then, somebody gets out. 342 00:20:10,834 --> 00:20:12,367 You hear them take off. 343 00:20:12,367 --> 00:20:14,367 And then, you hear the commotion, 344 00:20:14,433 --> 00:20:17,467 when the person who was dropped off, hit the house, 345 00:20:17,533 --> 00:20:20,867 really starts banging on Jacob's door, demanding to be let in. 346 00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:26,734 [indistinct dialogue] 347 00:20:28,667 --> 00:20:30,934 [Detective Johnson] The man sounded very agitated. 348 00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:35,266 Not long after, you hear the first six gunshots, 349 00:20:35,333 --> 00:20:36,967 fired in quick succession. 350 00:20:39,300 --> 00:20:42,567 [six gunshots fired] 351 00:20:42,634 --> 00:20:45,567 [Detective Johnson] It was a very good piece of evidence to find. 352 00:20:45,567 --> 00:20:48,767 Because, now we actually have a time stamp, 353 00:20:48,767 --> 00:20:50,233 of the shots being fired. 354 00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:53,333 [six gunshots fired] 355 00:21:00,867 --> 00:21:03,767 As far as we know, Sabion and Jacob 356 00:21:03,767 --> 00:21:06,367 and the third boy, Woola, 357 00:21:06,367 --> 00:21:09,333 are inside the house when the six shots were fired. 358 00:21:10,166 --> 00:21:13,867 And then, later on that night, we found Woola. 359

on this case, 469 00:30:11,467 --> 00:30:13,367 we received a phone call, 470 00:30:13,433 --> 00:30:18,867 that took what otherwise would have been a very simple murder case 471 00:30:18,867 --> 00:30:21,066 and turned it into something 472 00:30:21,133 --> 00:30:24,934 that could turn into a fight about who did it, in a courtroom. 473 00:30:31,700 --> 00:30:35,266 [Detective Johnson] Kevin Kirven who was actually a cousin of Zamar, 474 00:30:35,333 --> 00:30:38,567 was at our jail, because he got in a shootout with Waco PD. 475 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,734 Kevin has a long history of

00:30:54,066 And, he admitted to being in Mart that night. 479 00:30:55,867 --> 00:31:00,667 He said he also engaged in a violent confrontation inside the house. 480 00:31:03,667 --> 00:31:05,567 [DA

00:31:13,166 You also have to take seriously that he is a bad guy. 484 00:31:21,667 --> 00:31:23,467 I went to the jail with another detective, 485 00:31:23,533 --> 00:31:26,767 uh, where Kevin was being held to interview Kevin. 486 00:31:26,767 --> 00:31:29,367 You have the right to remain silent, and not make any statement at all. 487 00:31:29,367 --> 00:31:32,166 Any statement you make may be

Sabion, had made some type 491 00:31:58,934 --> 00:32:02,166 of sexual advance towards Zamar. 492 00:32:02,166 --> 00:32:04,867 And Zamar Kirven was upset by that. 493 00:32:04,934 --> 00:32:07,567 And Kevin Kirven claimed that Zamar 494 00:32:07,567 --> 00:32:10,166 told Kevin that he wanted kill Sabion. 495 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,166 Kevin said, "No. You don't need to get yourself in trouble. 496 00:32:22,166 --> 00:32:23,333 I'll take care of it." 497 00:32:30,500 --> 00:32:33,667 Kevin said that he then went over to the house, 498 00:32:33,667 --> 00:32:38,734 went into that bedroom and he shot those two boys in the head and left. 499 00:32:43,667 --> 00:32:46,367 We do know Kevin was present at the night of the murder. 500 00:32:47,767 --> 00:32:50,767 There's a motel directly across Texas Avenue, 501 00:32:50,767 --> 00:32:52,433 from Anthony Medlock's house. 502 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,767 Kevin Kirven was seen by the Mart police chief, 503 00:32:58,834 --> 00:33:01,066 who saw him at that motel, 504 00:33:01,133 --> 00:33:05,066 the morning following the murders of Jacob and Sabion. 505 00:33:05,066 --> 00:33:07,567 So, Kevin Kirven was definitely in the area 506 00:33:07,567 --> 00:33:09,533 at the time these murders occurred. 507 00:33:21,066 --> 00:33:25,467 Zamar Kirven would not provide any substantive information 508 00:33:25,533 --> 00:33:27,767 about Kevin Kirven's confession. 509 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,667 But he did have the opportunity 510 00:33:32,667 --> 00:33:34,567 to send text messages 511 00:33:34,634 --> 00:33:37,066 through tablets that inmates have access to. 512 00:33:38,767 --> 00:33:41,000 And so, we had those texts. 513 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,734 And then we knew exactly what had happened inside that house. 514 00:33:55,166 --> 00:33:56,767 During the investigation, 515 00:33:56,834 --> 00:33:59,667 going forward, it's Zamar Kirven that's done it. 516 00:33:59,667 --> 00:34:01,767 That's where all the evidence is leading. 517 00:34:01,834 --> 00:34:04,066 And then here comes Kevin Kirven, his cousin, 518 00:34:04,066 --> 00:34:06,166 saying, "I'm the one that did it. 519 00:34:06,166 --> 00:34:09,166 I shot Sabion and I shot Jacob." 520 00:34:09,166 --> 00:34:12,066 So then we had to go and uncover those rocks. 521 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,667 He claimed that no one else was in the house. 522 00:34:45,667 --> 00:34:47,867 But we knew there were at least four other people in the house, 523 00:34:47,867 --> 00:34:49,333 at the time of the murder. 524 00:34:58,867 --> 00:35:01,066 [DA DeCluitt] The boys are both shot multiple times. 525 00:35:01,133 --> 00:35:04,567 So saying that he only shot one shot on each of them, 526 00:35:04,567 --> 00:35:06,834 we knew immediately was not true. 527 00:35:08,667 --> 00:35:10,567 [Detective Johnson] Kevin is a bit of a gun-efficient auto. 528 00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:12,367 And we asked him during the interview, 529
